It's going to really start to feel like winter in Cork this week with temperatures set to drop as low as -3C.

Met Eireann are forecasting a serious chill towards the end of the week that could stick around well into next week.

Make sure to have the defroster ready for your car and some wood for the fire ahead of the colder than usual November conditions.

Thursday night will be the start of the bitter weather and each night for the following week or so is likely to be very similar.

A Met Eireann forecaster said: "Thursday will be a cold day, with bright or sunny spells and occasional showers. Some of the showers will be heavy, with a risk of hail and thunder, mainly in the west. Maximum temperatures 7 to 10 Celsius, in moderate northeasterly winds.
